According to Woodstock authorities, the van was passing a number of eastbound vehicles in a no-passing zone. An officer tried to pull over the vehicle, but its driver, the 16-year-old, allegedly sped up.

Woodstock police said McHenry County Sheriff's units joined the pursuit as the van turned south on Illinois Highway 47.

Huntley police said the chase ended on Illinois 47 just north of Reed Road when the driver rear-ended a car, then plowed into the left side of a sheriff's patrol car.

The boys face a number of charges in juvenile petitions, including theft over $300 and criminal trespass to a vehicle.

Additionally, the driver faces charges from Huntley police of aggravated battery and two counts of criminal damage to property.

Woodstock police said they'll charge the boys with possession of stolen property, aggravated fleeing and eluding, reckless driving and driving without a valid driver's license.
